It's definitely possible to maintain 2 -- or more -- "personas" and I don't know why that's so shocking to anyone here, considering the numerous T's on these boards who have DID and freely admit to being entirely different as T's than they are as clients/patients and in real life. I've often read statements such as, "My clients would be shocked if they saw how different I am in real life and in my own therapy! They would never believe I am the same person!"

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
